BARBROOK Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the South Ribble local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BARBROOK sales from April 1999 and December 2001 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the April 1999 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the December 2001 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might BARBROOK be worth now?

BARBROOK might now be worth an estimated £182,834.

This is based on house price inflation of 205%, between December 2001 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the South Ribble local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 205% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BARBROOK of £59,950 on 6th December 2001. For the value to have increased from £59,950 to £182,834 over the 23 years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BARBROOK has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the South Ribble local authority area.
• The December 2001 sale price of £59,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BARBROOK has not materially changed since December 2001.
